Prayer #22 - Prayers for a Sister in Crisis - Keep Walking

 Keep walking by Toby Mac plays on my playlist as I begin my day.  Dragging myself out of bed to go 'walking' and moving the catchy beat and fast lyrics have me singing, dancing, and waking up but the words -- penetrate.

 Today's prayer is ----the lyrics from the song with a little extra added in.

 Lord, this prayer is going to read today as if the women on the other end of this blog is praying for herself...

Lord, today was Another heartbreak day
Feels like you’re miles away
Don’t even need no shade
When your sun don’t shine, shine  - My sun is not shining today Lord.  I want the sun to shine!

Too many passin’ dreams
Roll by like limousines
It’s hard to keep believin’
When they pass you by and by  - Lord, I have been "at" this struggle for far too long.  Or at least I believe it is far too long.  I want it to end -- I want some closure, I want to see a light in the end of the tunnel, but I also want to be in Your will....so I wait. 

I know your heart been broke again  --  Lord, it seems my heart has stayed broke -
I know your prayers ain’t been answered yet - No Lord, maybe my prayers have been answered -- maybe this is the NEW NORMAL and this has me walking with you so close ----
I know you’re feeling like you got nothing left  - Lord, I do feel so drained!  
Well, lift your head, it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yet so

Move, keep walkin’ soldier keep movin’ on
Move, keep walkin’ until the mornin’ comes
Move, keep walkin’ soldier keep movin’ on
And lift your head, it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yet  - I am moving Lord, I am trying --

Echoin’ inside your head
Are the words that your sweet momma said,
“shoot for the moon, my dear”
So you took aim out of this atmosphere
Between high stakes and pump fakes
You’re feelin’ like you can’t buy a break
I can hold your hand, but I can’t turn your eyes to freedom - I know where my freedom comes from Lord, its from You and You have been holding my hand, but that shoot for the moon comment -- I still want to shoot for the moon -- I want All of Your best for me.   I don't feel this is Your best - yet!

I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain’t been answered yet
I know you’re feeling like you got nothing left
Well, lift your head, it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yet so  - I realize the end is looking closer and closer - his words are few and he does not seem to want me.  God -- help.  Lord, I pray for my marriage and believe You have me sitting here -- reading prayers, writing prayers, and even sharing my heart and yet -- it still seems like there is something yet -- what Lord?   

Lord, help me....

Move, keep walkin’ soldier keep movin’ on

Move, keep walkin’ until the mornin’ comes
Move, keep walkin’ soldier keep movin’ on
And lift your head, it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yet

Hold on, hold on
Lord ain’t finished yet
Hold on, hold on
He’ll get you through this
Hold on, hold on
These are the promises
I never will forget
I never will forget [x2]

I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain’t been answered yet
it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yet so

Move, keep walkin’ soldier keep movin’ on
Move, keep walkin’ until the mornin’ comes
Move, keep walkin’ soldier keep movin’ on
And lift your head, it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yet..

Lord, for the women that will read this -- 
Lord, for the one whom I already prayed for who is still before you and quiet - but still hurting.  I stated and believed that by the end of this series of prayers - inspired for her - there will be victory in her marriage - victory in the blessed assurance her husband is saved and victory with You.  That she will know that she knows - she is RIGHT where You have her!  In Jesus name, Amen
